Being a broker is better suited for originators that like to work independently, control their workflow, and like to offer an array of options.

@Garry Miller I suggest you also check out the wide array of excel models at Adventures in CRE.And thanks for sharing.

My other issue is when I compare revnue projections on other platforms - pricelabs, etc they are vastly different which is also giving me pause.

The world of "land" is vast and deep. 

the vast, vast majority of properties aren't good candidates for a BRRRR. 

I Joined Jeromes Buying land and building homes program back in 2019Heres my opinion on my experience....First and foremost He offers two different programs. a 6 month program and a 12 month program.BOTH PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY IDENTICAL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS:You can choose to have the weekly mentoring by Jerome once a week for 6 months or 12 months on a zoom call and you can have access to a private networking group of real estate professionals whether that be (realtors, contractors, brokers, Private/Hard money lenders, loaning institutions, Surveyors, Engineers, Zoning Board members in different municipalities, pretty much anyone you would need to get a project completed) for either 6 months or 12 months.6 month program will run you $5,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $2,300 payment every 2 months totaling $6,90012 month program will run you $9,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $3,000 payment every 3 months totaling $12,000I decided to join the one year program and chose the payment option as i figured within 6-8 months i would have my 1st project completed therefor my last two payments would essentially be covered by the return on investment from that project.PROS:The group is really a family oriented space where you meet a vast variety of people from all types of background throughout the country and other countries that are doing business just like you.

Sometimes,  actually the vast majority of the time, things are cheap for a reason. 

If it was recently listed and is now being taken off market to rent, the vast majority of lenders are going to use the lower of appraised value vs recent listing price for several months after delisting, typically 3-6.

The people here have a vast amount of knowledge and are more than willing to share their experience and provide sound insight and advice.

This area is diverse enough for vastly different price points and there's never a shortage of renters looking for 1, 2 & 3 bedroom apartments.
